Tnet Vacation: Colonial Relics, Coppers & Big Silver!

[Carolina Tom]

Smittyman and I drove to NYC last weekend. We hunted in NY & NJ for four days with our Tnet friends. I can not thank our hosts enough for their generosity and hospitality. Scrappy, Eastcoasthunter21, Bartek and Treblehunter.



We hunted a lot of different spots. All were beautiful in their own way, however these were some of my favorites:



Here is a shot of Eastcoasthunter21 taken from Bartek’s drone. Yeah, we had a ball!



We will start with this, it looked just like a copper coin... however turned out to be a 10 gauge shotgun shell.



Here is a pic of all of the relics:



I got a hand full of flat buttons:



I believe this is a knee buckle frame. Input appreciated. I have it propped up on a fragment of a shoe buckle.



Here are some musket balls.



This is the mechanism from a powder flask. I attached a flask pic from the internet.





I managed to locate some copper coins. 1875 IHC, 1836 LC, KG3 & unknown KG.



I found this walker and a 1905 Barber dime too. Yeah, I gored the walker... last day, last hour... I was really tired. Oops.



The real treasure was spending time with like minded gentlemen of integrity. Thanks for everything fellas!

Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts.

I just know ya'll had a blast Tom. Congrats on all your finds. Looks like you dug a pouch full. I am looking forward to hunting with you and the BOBS in the coming year.

Hope you have plans for a festive and happy Thanksgiving.

You were missed Loco, we spoke of you often. We will have to con(vince) the BOBs and Treb into hosting a little spring hunt. You gotta go to SNJ this time... it was beautiful.

Wet and Wild. Looks like you guys had a great 4 days.
That kind of camaraderie, those finds, and the memories made, are what make the long drive, so worth it.
Congratulations

Looking forward to it, Brad want's to move it up to March instead of April. I just know we can find a time that fits everyone's schedule.

Thanks for the kind word Bart. Loved the aerials from your drone. If I was a betting man, I'd wager you pulled more than anyone else.
